If we ship off Rocky, we're never even giving a guy we traded THREE picks to get a chance to showcase his skills as a starter. We gave the Jets our 2nd rounder last year (53rd overall), plus our 2nd and 6th rounders this year. So that would be giving up on a player AND FOUR DRAFT PICKS (I'm counting our 6th overall this year) before we even give him a shot to really play. Lunacy.

If we ship off Golston we are getting rid of yet another draft pick who ended up being somewhat of a steal. He played well when Salave'a got hurt, and ummm hello, we DESPERATELY need help on the D-line!! So including the 6th pick there are two more draft picks down the drain.

If we ship off Lemar, were are losing a leader who will provide valuable depth at both OLB and MLB, and he's a "core redskin" according to Joe. This would definitely not sit well in the locker room- trading him away to bring in a guy who refuses to go play for the defending NFC champs and a world class defense for $7M a year.

If this trade happens, Joe Gibbs owes it to the fans to have a Q & A session so we can find out where he gets crack. This is sickening. Another case of a FA wanting to come play for the Danny and get paid. I knew that week in Arizona was gonna be bad for us.

agreed, I don't want the 1st Briggs deal, but I think it is a good value. Adding another player really negates the value of the deal, and as you mention we'd still have the chemistry issue w/bringing in a guy w/20 mil guaranteed.
